INTRODUCTION TO TRIGNET:
TrigNet consists of a network of continuously operating Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) base stations that are located throughout South Africa at an interstation spacing of between 80km and 300km (see Sensor map). Each base station is equipped with a GNSS receiver and a geodetic choke ring antenna that are used to record Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observables, which currently comprise of Global Positioning System (GPS) observables on its L1 and L2 frequencies and GLONASS observables on its L1 and L2 frequencies, at an epoch interval of 1 second.
The data is continuously streamed from each TrigNet base station to the TrigNet control centre, which is located in the Mowbray (Cape Town) Offices of the Chief Directorate: National Geospatial Information. The TrigNet control centre processes the data, publishes the post processing data files on the website and streams real-time corrections to users.

TRIGNET'S POST PROCESSING DATA SERVICE:
Data access:
The data service is provided through a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) link within the TrigNet website.
The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for this link is ftp://ftp.trignet.co.za.

No guarantee is given that all data will be available at all times. Equipment and/or communication failures may result in data loss or delay in data retrieval.

Daily and hourly RINEX formatted files containing content and recording rates as follows:
----L1 and L2 code and carrier phase data at a 1 second epoch rate;
----L1 code and carrier phase data at a 5 second epoch rate;
----L1 and L2 code and carrier phase data at a 30 second epoch rate

The Daily RINEX files are published one (1) day after the data capture.
The Hourly RINEX files are published 40 minutes after the hour of data capture.
